Answer:

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A positive charge is attracted towards a negatively charged ion and the force with which they are attracted towards each other is electrostatic force of attraction.

According to coulomb's law, force is directly proportional to the product of charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Mathematically,          F  

Therefore, smaller is the size of ions greater will be its charge and more strong the ions will be held together.

Thus, we can conclude that the compound that has the smallest ions with the greatest charge would be expected to have the strongest ionic bonds.

For the oxidation-reduction reaction equation given here 4ga+p4 indicate how many electrons are transferred in the formation of
sergij07 [2.7K]
The reaction given is:

4Ga + P4 ---> 4GaP

The oxidation number of the reactants is zero, because they are pure elements.

The P in compounds may have oxidation states 3- or 5-. Gallium may only have oxidation state 3+.

Then, to be neutral in GaP the oxidation states are 3+ for Ga and 3- for P.

And the transference of electrons can be see in this oxidation - reduction equations:

Ga (0) - 3 e-    ----> Ga (3+)

P (0) + 3e- ---> P (3-)

So, for one formula unit, 3 electrons have been transfered from each Ga atom to P atom to form one GaP unit.

Answer: 3 electrons.

<span>physical changes
   Physical changes happen when something undergoes a transformation that does not alter their total inward arrangement. This appears differently in relation to the idea of compound change in which the creation of a substance changes or at least one substances consolidate or separate to frame a new one</span>
